Southampton manager Ronald Koeman says they have not made
contact over a move for Jordy Clasie, but that may change if Morgan
Schneiderlin leaves.

The south-coast club have been reported to be plotting a move to
lure Clasie away from Feyenoord - who Koeman left to take over at
St Mary's last June.

Koeman signed Graziano Pelle from the Eredivisie side shortly
after his arrival at Southampton, and Netherlands international
Clasie - Feyenoord's captain - recently admitted that he could also
leave De Kuip.

Meanwhile, Schneiderlin - who was repeatedly linked with
Tottenham prior to the start of the season - is thought to be the
subject of renewed interest from the White Hart Lane club and their
local rivals Arsenal.

Koeman told Fox Sports: "At the moment there has not been any
contact [for Clasie]. There is interest for a number of our
players, including Schneiderlin.
